After reading Sharp Points about copy editing on theslot.com, I realize that this is not an easy job. It is important to get all the other information correct such as additional details essential to a news story. The facts are absolutely substantial. But copy editors sometimes have to breeze through a story because of deadlines and they just don't get enough time- hence the mistakes in newspaper and magazines.
I personally can't see myself being in extreme deadlines where a certain article needs to go out pronto because it's major news. It's important to not make mistakes but I can see how it happens.

- Hi, my name is Lauren Buttacavole. I am extremely happy you have found my writing blog since there are most likely many blogs out there also giving writing advice. But, I hope you all will find mine to be unique, interesting, and most importantly insightful to the beauty and power of writing and how it has greatly impacted my own life. I am a recent graduate of Kean University with a Major in English/Writing, minor in Psychology in pursue of a job in writing and perhaps one day write a book. I recently wrote a poetry manuscript for my Senior Seminar class entitled "Like a Bee Sting." I also like to write non-fiction stories, inspirational blogs and passages that others can relate and connect with. Thank you and enjoy my blog!
